Headline: Riyadh Police Busts 15-Member Robbery Gang, Recovers Stolen Vehicles
Introduction:
Jeddah police have successfully arrested a 15-member robbery gang that specialized in hijacking vehicles. The gang, consisting of 13 Pakistani nationals and two Syrian citizens, had stolen and dismantled 19 vehicles, which were later sold as scrap. The police have recovered nine of the stolen vehicles kept by the gang for demolition.
Details:
The gang used to take the stolen vehicles to a compound located outside the residential area, where they dismantled them and sold the parts to agri shops. The Jeddah police have completed the legal procedures and handed over the gang to the public prosecution for further investigation.
Car Accident Claims Lives of Saudi Family:
In another tragic incident, six members of a Saudi family lost their lives in a car accident near Madinah. The accident occurred on the Khuraida road connecting Mahdu Dahab town and Madinah when their car went out of control. The deceased included the head of the family, a Saudi soldier, his wife, one son, and three daughters. A boy survived the crash with injuries.
This was not the first time the soldier’s family faced such a tragedy. Two years ago, another car carrying the soldier and his family, who were stationed on the southern Saudi border, met with an accident. The soldier’s brother explained that the family was relocating to South Saudi Arabia from Tabuk and was traveling on the Khuraida road when the accident occurred. The injured five-year-old boy was immediately transported to Madina Maternity Hospital via Red Crescent Air Ambulance. Fortunately, the boy’s health condition has improved under medical treatment.
Conclusion:
The successful arrest of the robbery gang by Jeddah police is a significant breakthrough in the fight against vehicle theft in the region. Authorities are continuing their efforts to ensure the safety and security of the residents. Meanwhile, the tragic car accident that claimed the lives of six family members serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety precautions for all motorists.
